Can a single jump a king at draughs?
In draughts (or checkers), a single piece cannot jump over a king. A single piece can only jump over an opponent’s regular pieces to capture them. However, if a king is positioned such that it is adjacent to a single piece and there is an empty space on the opposite side, the single piece can jump over the regular piece, but not the king itself. Thus, jumping a king directly is not allowed.

In a game of draughts can a single take a double?
In draughts, a single piece cannot directly take a double piece in a single move. However, if a single piece jumps over an opponent's single piece that is adjacent to a double, it can then continue its jump over the double piece if the position allows for it. Thus, the single piece can indirectly take a double by jumping over a single piece first.
